This article had a 'reads like advertising' tag and I rewrote it in a NPOV. it still doesn't have any sources or references. Mtl1969 20:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I wonder about the phrase: "Its milk continues to be sourced from New England and Midwest dairy farmers". This article says that at least a portion of it's milk is sourced from New Zealand Organic farms, powdered, and reconstituted in New Hampshire. I wanted to reference the controversy on the main page but I figured that it deserved some discussion here first.Ecksii 20:57, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

interesting Businessweek article and i think it would be fair to bring some its content into the wikipedia article, properly referenced and labeled as 'criticism'Mtl1969 19:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually the Business Week article doesn't say they source milk from New Zealand. It says "Sometime soon a portion of the milk used to make that organic yogurt may be taken from a chemical-free cow in New Zealand, powdered, and then shipped to the U.S. ... What to do? If you're Hirshberg, you weigh the pros and cons of importing organic milk powder from New Zealand. ".

I found the source used for some of the information in our article. It comes from a Stonyfield farm press release, which is probably reliable for facts such as when and how many shares Group Danone brought. I wasn't sure how much to trust its claims for #3 yogurt maker in the US, so I used an older, independent source which said they were #4 in 2002. They very well could be #3 now, though. --Ishi Gustaedr (talk) 20:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
